“Off The Record,” a new web video series sponsored by Cabo Wabo tequila – rocker Sammy Hagar’s personal brand of hooch – promotes itself as based on the concept that when musicians get together on camera over a prominently placed bottle of booze, lips loosen and real talk happens.

The series will pair established artists with up-and-comers for cozy conversation and a little jamming, recorded for short videos posted on Cabo Wabo’s YouTube channel. The first, released yesterday, features Mick Fleetwood chatting with the young Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins.

Obviously, no secrets that haven’t been common knowledge for thirty or so years get revealed. As the pair, shot in black-and-white, sit with untouched glasses of tequila, Fleetwood tells Atkins about the night Fleetwood Mac, after a gig at the Warehouse in New Orleans, got lost wandering back to the hotel to meet the Grateful Dead – who were at the time getting busted for LSD possession. (“So you were playing on acid?” “Oh, yeah – with the Grateful Dead, you didn’t not do that.”)

They also chat about how both of them have made albums (his was “Rumours,” hers was something) during turbulent emotional times.

So, nobody is exactly telling all (were you surprised?). The entertaining thing is how well the musicians and video editors create a funny little vignette that, well, really does mimic the false intimacy of drunk talk. From the booth where they’re first sitting, Fleetwood and Atkins move to a couch, where he strums a ukulele and she texts. Then, they bond over the idea that both Atkins and Stevie Nicks have been compared to Edith Piaf.

“Oh my God! So I know we totally needed to have met,” Fleetwood gushes. The camera quick-cuts to the bottle of tequila.

In the imaginary scenes that follow, one would guess, Atkins and Fleetwood decide they’re going to be best friends forever, then wake up late with awful tequila headaches.
